Smuggler Game (BH Revamp)

[Hashum]

Ok, in the bounty hunter form we've begun discussion of revamping the system, and in the discussion we though about expanding the idea so that more of you can participate. I'm only going to run this poll for three days because I'm hoping to get a response but once we get a feel for your interest really work on making this come to life, I don't want to talk about it and let it die so if you're interested lets act on it and get some plans made.

To this end we were wonder what you would feel about expanding or adding a smugglers game. What we were thinking is something along the lines of.

1) A Client posts a job. "I need 100k of Current Yavin Meat, the Empire is charging too much tax for me to purchase locally" (This could be spice, shipwright resources or anything really).

2) A customer contacts the client "I can arrange that, however it's going to cost you as the Empire has a pretty strict lock down around Lok. It's going to run you 201 CPU" Client agrees

3) Customer collects said resources and contacts client "I've secured the goods you need, I'll rendevous with you at Nym's Stronghold to deliver the goods" (These communications would take place in either the BH forum or maybe the Rebel or Imperial Holonet or maybe you could add a Smugglers Holonet).

4) Tramel or any Imperial Force through contacts (Possibly a regional "Govenor" for the given system) could intercept said broadcast of the delivery date and time and arrange to ambush ship and confenscate the items or impose penalties and fines.

Now the details obviously would need to be set up on how this all takes place and of course there's the being online but that could be avoided with Vendors buying the resources. Esentially it's a sort of capture the flag or tag type of event. Get something from point A which is the easy part and then Deliver to point B which is where anyone may want to set up step 4. Maybe a BH mission could be placed to intercept the goods and deliver them to someone else. Not really sure how that will all play out.

Anyway just thought we'd get your feelings on this and see if it would be worth investing the time to set up and if anyone would participate in this kind of thing.

Thanks

I like the idea. It's just it would be rather difficult to arrange meetings in space without preset cooridinates and aggreeing to a duel. Also, there seems to be a lack of Imperial presence(or at least pilots :P), so smuggling against Imperial players might be a bit of a challenge getting a hold of as well. Then there's the ludicrus price that you'd have to pay, if it's anything like the bounties. But, I'd still be there to harrass any would be smugglers. Rori shall maintain it's peaceful order. :P

Yeah, one of the challenges in this game is getting the "Cat" and the "Mouse" to play at the same time.

In the BH system, the "Mouse" has no way to end the game, so timing is less critical.
